TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: 7

Be it known that I, MARCUS DE VoURsNEY, of Newark, 66 Commerce street, in the county of Essex, and

in the State of New Jersey, have invented anew and improved Fastening for Coach-Lamps; and. I do hereby 1 dealers that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, in which drawing- I Figure 1 represents a side elevation of this invention.

Figure 2 is a horizontal section of the same.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

This invention consists in a socket fastened to the back of a coach-lamp, and fitting on' a standard which is rigidly attached to, the coach in such a manner that a firm and durable fastening for the lamp is obtained, which allows of attaching or removing the lamp with ease and convenience.

The invention consists also in a two-armed bracket, the arms of which straddle the-body of the lamp, and which is provided with a socket to fit on a standard which is rigidly attached to the coach or carriage in such a manner that the lamp can be readily and firmly connected to said bracket, and at the same time means are provided for attaching the lamp toor detaching it from the coach or carriage whenever'it may be required.

A represents a bracket, which is either made of cast metal or of any other suitable material, and which is provided with two arms a, and with a socket, b. The arms a are curved, so that they straddle the body of the lamp, and they are provided with broad flanges at their ends, whereby they can be conveniently and firmly fastened to the lamp either by rivets, bolts, or solder. The socket b is provided with a square, polygonal, oral, or round opening, to fit on the end of a standard, B, which is rigidly connected to the coach 'or carriage, and which may be providcd with anut, for'the purpose of confining, the socket in its'place. The socket b, instead of being secured to the lamp by means of the arms a, might be attached directly to the back thereof by soldering, or any other means. I

If the opening in the 500K817 is made round, a set-screw may be provided, for the purposc'ot' preventing the lamp from turningon the standard B, and this set-screw may also be used in place of the nut at the upper end of the standard, or, if desired, the nut may be screwed up so tight that it will prevent the lamp from turning on the standard, as well as from being lifted out of the same.

By connecting the socket to the'baok of the lamp, either directly or by means of the arms a, a fastening for a coach-lamp is obtained which is simple, cheap, and durable, andwvhichretains the lamp firmly and securely in an upright position, and all injury to the lamp from the jars of the coach or carriage is avoided.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is i 1. A bracket, A, provided with arms a and a socket, b, in combination with the standard 11 and with a coach-lamp, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. Fastening the socket to the back of the lamp by'mcans of the arms a, substantially as and for the purpose set forth;
